Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Dixie and rugs

Walking on plasticized vinyl tends to remove the plasticizer from the vinyl.
This has always been a problem with Nomad.  I remember early tests at (if I
remember correctly) Broken Arrow OK, where the mat got stiff in a couple of
weeks.  The sand and dust on feet removed the plasitcizer.  Better
plasticizers helped.

Use on a horses back, where absorbant dust is not being tracked over the
pad, will not remove plasticizer.  The ones I used for many years died for
other reasons.
